Weekend Rewind + Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili | January 2019

My goal for 2019 is to post at least one weekend rewind each month. While probably boring to you, these are some of my favorite “diary” posts to look back at. And because this past weekend was the perfect mix of relaxation and fun, I thought I’d rewind it for ya…or for me.

Friday evening we took the kids to Fresh Chef, one of our favorite restaurants in Charlotte. The kids menu is sooo good. Matt got shrimp & grits and I got the same thing I always get — chicken salad sandwich, fries and a side kale salad (which is the best kale salad I’ve ever had — it doesn’t even taste like kale). Then we hit up the grocery store to knock it out early in the weekend to grab all the ingredients for our dinner party the next night.

Saturday morning Caroline whipped up some white chicken chili in the slow cooker and made sugar cookies from scratch while Matt and Thomas ran some errands. Caroline has been begging to do another “cooking show” for awhile and now that our kitchen is finished it was the perfect opportunity. I had so much fun watching her cook — she truly loves it, like her mama. Later in the afternoon we had our friends over to enjoy her chili. We served hot dogs and fries for the kiddos, but I’m pretty sure they just ran around drinking their weights in juice boxes. It was so fun to host our first dinner of the year — in our new kitchen! And Matt was excited to serve his Fat Tire on tap.

Sunday morning we went to church and then walked to lunch afterwards to our usual spot. Then we relaxed the rest of the day and caught up on chores.

I had to do the chicken part — it grosses me out still too. haha. She is finally starting to LOVE her curls and wearing her hair DOWN! We told her that wearing it down will help it grow. And that seemed to work because she gets so excited to see how long it’s growing!

How cute is she with her little hand on her hip?! Keep the weekend recaps coming! I feel the same way — like they’re boring to others, but they’re fun to look back on! I’m going to have to try this chili, yum.
